I'm looking to upgrade to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116264&cm_re=Celeron-_-19-116-264-_-Product
Both chips are Socket 775 LGA (I'm not sure if this matters)
I think that the Celeron currently in my desktop is 90nm, but it may be 65nm, but the one on Newegg is 45nm (Also not sure if this matters either)
I'm currently running OS X on this computer and I plan on dual-booting this with Windows 7 and OS X, but I would like to upgrade it to the max.
If I were in Windows, I could use CPU-Z to give you all of this information, but since this machine currently has OS X on it, I can't find ALL of the info. Instead I have to use CPU-X which doesn't give as much information (Like the size, and specific names) but here are the specs of this machine:
Intel Celeron@2.4GHz/256kb L2 Cache
1GB (soon to be 2gb after order comes in)
nVidia GeForce 8400GS (main)
Intel GMA x3100 (I think, I never use it anymore)
2x300GB IDE Harddrives (may upgrade to 2x500GBs if I can afford it)
I'm not sure about all of the motherboard specs, but it is the original one on the Dimension 3000, and is based on the Intel 865g chipset.
I would love to see this machine up and running at it's utmost (Seeing as it is the worst computer I own, but it is decent) and if I can get rid of the old crappy Celeron and replace it with this nicer dual core processor, it would be GREAT
Thanks for your help!
